At 16, Zac Baxter loves his grandfather but does not believe his stories about being a descendant of a king in Africa and a treasure – until his grandfather is murdered and their apartment is ransacked.  Zac travels to Ghana to uncover the truth about his family’s history.  The British government wants him out of the way, his grandfather’s killers seem to be always just ahead of him, and he is afraid to confide in or trust anyone.  His grandfather’s words guide him through many harrowing experiences.  This adventure takes place in England, Africa, jungles, and dungeons.  Much of the story is based on historical facts and events.  Suspense, mystery, and history all in one.
